    5 1/2 hours into the bazzar and not one free thing... is it fixed that only members who buy gold on a regular are getting the free stuff. this is sad it should be for everyone.. and how much longer is the bazzar going to be here.. bring on the new stuff already -_-

    It is not jjust for people who buy gold. I've never bought gold and have gotten 1 freebie - $50,000. I'm guessing it's random for each player.

    Seriously?!? When the very first freebie report is from someone who has never spent a penny on gold, and has said so multiple times all over the forum?

    A big over-inflated balloon that goes poof.. that' Omar. A bunch of crappy offers, tons of gold for some $$ that you can normally earn in a couple of days, too many gold for a few seeds... a big disappointment :(

    I waited for decorations, books.. but that's my fault indeed, high hopes means big disappointments.. I'll keep that in mind for the future updates.. ;)

    You didn't get the offer for the garden pump decoration? I was really sorry I can't buy gold; a +37 4x3 would be a really nice addition to my decos!

    no, I didn't :(
    didn't get the 100.000 free $$ either... must be because I'm always criticizing :)))

    for example: who in the .. would pay 44.444 Gold for 7.000.000 $??? must be really stupid...
    if a certain farm extensions cost 9.000 Gold OR 21.000.000 $, why should I give 44.444 Gold for just 7.000.000 $ ? not in this world, baby...
    the same amount of $$ (7.000.000) can be obtained with around 32.000 just by selling apples and speeding up their production.. why pay over 10.000 Gold more??
    and the rest of the offers are the same.. no sane player would ever buy $$ with gold..

    Is Omar "pregnant"?!
    Well.. May the girls of this forum forgive me, but my older sister that is pregnant and has a round belly like that...
    So much time to come with the character, so much careful, thought it was a piece of art... But looking at him, his "fat belly" does not fit with his face, his hands, and his skinny legs... Oh, i know! Probably some kind of illness!... No, no!.. Not that, his belly is becoming inflated with the gold he`s receiving!...
    Oh, okay! Forget ittttT!...

    Than i was suppose to sit in front of him to wait 4 a free offer?!
    Okay... Forget itttT!..
    Got better things to do, like to take care of my castle!...
    Things around here are really getting boring and sadddD!

    And what is that "special offer" doing every-time i log in?!
    I do not have gold to buy that deco!....
    If you were wise you could change the deco of the charity drive by this one or others!... Cause it`s always the telescope, the telescope, the telescope!.....
    Okay forget ittT!

    And from today, there`s the gray flag in my farm and only the gray flag, as a sign of protest against all these gold stuff and gold dealings!....

    there was golden licence for 1500 gold today. some offers are very good for us (non real dollars users :D) other offers are really same as other offers from that bussiness woman that comes and goes to farm.

    Dear Mr Omar,

    Being the successful trader that you are I am sure you are not one to turn down a bargain when you see one. Now it pains me that you are cutting yourself to the bone with your best offers and you have to make a living especially with your extensive travelling. I am presuming that you are not a greedy man and that your best price that you can offer is a mere 50% mark up on your purchasing costs, based on your offer of £3.5M dollars for 22,222 gold you are going to quickly run out of dollars and be forced into raising your margins to make end meet at this special offer.
    Now this is where I come in, I can offer to replenish your dollars for a ratio that will make your eyes water with Joy, I will give you £3.5M dollars for the low low price of 10,000 gold, no I can do better just 7,500 gold. Therefore allowing you to have a greater quality of life and still being able to offer your rock bottom prices which are 80% below the market value.
    Even better is this offer stands for as long as you require the cash,
    Yours Sincerely
    Bear

    All the pop ups when I log in are a pain. ONE (the newspaper) was bad enough. Now there are three!
    I have to log out and in all the time and this is a real pain in the butt.

    And instead of the one, once in awhile flashy thing in the upper left corner of the game when your doing some gold deal, NOW THERE ARE THREE!!!!
    They are IN THE WAY.
    They cover up a good portion of my farm making me move the whole thing to harvest anything up there.

    ALL require gold which as I have said, I will no longer buy until I feel safe that it won't get accidentally lost.
    So NO money from me folks.

    Things non gold users like, say the architect, he shows up once in a blue moon and does not last long enough to get more than ONE thing updating. That's IF you have enough money to start anything during the short period of time he's around.
    But things requiring GOLD spending come up ALL THE TIME. AND STICK AROUND FOR DAYS!

    I'm excited to see all the new "coming soon" updates. But if those will involve rampant spending of gold, I think it may be time to give up on this whole thing.


    It would be SO much more profitable for you if you...
    A. Made people feel safe about putting any real money on this game.
    B. Only had the juiciest of items, like the water mill for example, that cost gold. AND not a huge amount.
    You would have a whole lot more people willing to spend a FEW bucks here and there, then you do asking for large amounts for little real reward.

    Agh, the "FREE" decoration IF you spend gold IS NOT FREE!!!!!
    I hate it when that free word gets tossed around. It's nothing short of a CHEAT.

    Thanks GGS--2 times now I have gotten the offer for $100,000 for free :D
    Omar is definitely NOT the focus of my farm though, but if he is on--I will happily see what he has for me;)

    Did anyone else buy a special seeds set from Omar, the 20 corn, 20 cabbage, 20 wheat and then not get any cabbage seeds at all? I don't understand what happened.

    My daughter also checked her account. No seeds at all and she has the proof through the Prime gold spending (me too) that she bought the special seeds. What gives? :(

    What I've observed so far is that the offers seem to change every 10 minutes, and the flag displays a simplified timer (assuming it shows on your screen; it's off the edge for me since I play in smaller windows) so it's moderately easy to tell when it will change. Just pop it open every so often to see what's up and what's next.

    And that free $100,000? I've gotten it twice so far on each of two of my farms, although I haven't yet seen it even once on my other farm.

    A caveat on the "Special seeds pack", though: per the info button on it, you don't actually get special seeds; what you get is breeding seeds.


    Well that explains why I don't actually see special seeds. I got something that is totally useless to me since I don't have problems with the breeding seeds, it's the special seeds. Wow what a bust. Thanks Montuos.

    There is way too much advertising on the farm with this update.

    I really love Omar. Of course all of his offers to spend Gold to get Farm Dollars isn't worth it. But I love his offers to buy Gold Mining Licence. I bought 2 Gold Mining Licence at 1,500 Gold Each, which means I will profit 1000 gold from that. Then 3 time I bought the package that gives you One Gold Mining Certificate and 5 Wheel Tokens for 2,555 Gold, this package really is worth it because you will get 2,000 gold back with the Mining Licence and then the tokens only cost 111 Gold each. And did I mention that the first thing I saw when I woke up was $100,000 For Free? Thanks you GGS for making the Bazaar.
    And I also love that the Prime Spending is running now to, I am only 12,500 more gold away from getting that bridge. So hopefully Omar will give me some more good offers.

    no point for this update too.
    but its still better than Monica at least this guy gives some free stuff once a year.
    so yea still waiting for some useful update.

    Once a year? I got the Free $100,000 in less than 18 hours and slept all night.

    I try very hard to be grateful for the half glass that has been dealt to me when other people keep filling it back up with vinegar (or other liquids--you guess) and then throwing it back in my face.

    THIS.

    If nothing else, the creators should heed this:
    - less of the infuriatingly huge, popping-up, in-the-way advertising
    - morally acceptable aka SAFE way to spend gold
    - too many of us lost gold aka spent it all without intending to, just because the game was glitching or the mouse too slow/fast

    I don't know which forum you are talking about, but this game has been here for about a year and a half.
    This is the first time this event has been run.
    Hmm.

    As a non gold buyer, I'd just like to say this event is excellent for me.
    I've been carefully saving the majority of my gold for many a month and now it has all been worth it!
    I purchased 2 gold mining licences for 1500 each so I will get an additional 1000 gold once I'm done mining it.
    On top of that I got the gold mining task that they added in a while back, which gives a 300 gold reward for using a gold mining licence. So now I get 1300 gold in total for free!
    But wait there's more! Prime spending was running at the same time.. so I got the bottom two rewards - 10 premium fert and 2 wheel of fortune tokens.

    I can't wait for him to come back next time, when I'll have enough gold to buy 3 gold mining licences if he's willing to offer them to me!

    P.S I agree the price of purchasing dollars with gold is INSANE ;)

    Many of the "deals" I have been receiving repeat and for the most part require spending at least 3000 gold, one repeats every so often asking for 11,111 gold. No thank you. At the moment I only have 500 because of a mis-click in speeding up a building a few weeks back. Really wish there was an option to ask us if we want to spend gold.

    Yeah my offers also seem to be on a randomised repeat meaning the same 5 offers coming up over and over again in different order. The gold mining licenses and token package have disappeared completely since I bought it. Are the offers really random or does GGS control who gets what?

    Is there any free stuff from Omar's Bazaar to be had or do you have to buy gold first ?
